New Music: Ron Isley Feat. Lauryn Hill "Close To You" [Audio]

Ron Isley and Lauryn Hill have teamed up for a new track. Titled “Close To You” and a remake of the original from singer Burt Bacharach, the track is reportedly featured on Isley’s upcoming Mr. I album.

As previously reported, Ron was recently released from prison after serving three years for tax evasion.

In addition to Hill, he’s said to be working with T.I. and Rick Ross on his new album.

Ron Isley is the uncle at the club who either doesn’t realize everyone there is half his age or doesn’t care. T.I. and Rick Ross? I bet if they ever do a video for the songs, Uncle Ron will be in baggy jeans and a fitted. Technically, he’s old enough to be Great Uncle Ron now…

This is a very beautiful remix. I am going to buy it because both Ron and Lauryn Hill are gifted. You can’t keep real talent down. All the rest of these wannabes out there just wasting space need to say down and take a listen to how to really sing. I give this Five Stars. Glad to see Ron and Lauryn making beautiful music for us to enjoy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is so beautiful. Just what music is about. Lauren and Ron ??? OHH MMMM GEEE, I never would have guessed at this combination. However, it WORKS. Magic… Thank goodness real music might be on a come back… Damn he comes Beyonce shaking her A$$.

becky bush.

Laren and Ron.. What a combination. The best music I have heard in years. Is real singing on the rise. Reminds me of my child hood, when music meant something. It actually touched you. It was you. DAMN DAMN DAMN… come on people support realism. Not the ash and trash that is out there. The reality is though that the Baby Boomer Generation is where the soul is, but they are retiring as Grand Parents, Generation X is confused, and Generation Y and Z have no CLUE. Lauren… Ron.. it is up to you all to bridge the generational GAPS with real music. The essence of our souls. God Bless! Thank You!

Wow I got a Chill , that’s what real music does you feel it in your soul , not like all that Bull Ish surface music that’s played today.

Aged, yes. Can sang? Most DEFINATELY. Like Ray Charles, Ron could do his own funeral. This song is very good. He loves Bachrac’s work and did this one on the “Bachrac Meets Isley” cd.
Glad to hear Lauryn. When she’s rolling, she is the truth. I pray the time is right for her to reach back into that reservoir of hers and give it to us. I hear sumpin’. Like someone said, this IS grown folk music. Beyounce? Well. she’s not be the best cords in the chior but she can WORK a room (and everything she brings to it). She did make 80 million last year. Somebody like’n something. Thanks Nik. Love your work. Peace & Blessings to your Mom.
